• Canvio Plus 2.5 "1 TB external HARD drive does not work with USB 3.0

  I've had this drive for about a month.

  I am on Windows 7

  I can only operate by connecting to USB 2.0 ports. It is then visible in 'My Computer'.

  If I connect to USB 3.0, it turns on the case but does not appear in 'My Computer'.

  I tried it on all my USB ports 3.0 - up on one and two in the back of my case.

  I checked my BIOS and USB 3.0 is enabled.

  I tried to follow the suggestions in the user manual, but the drive does not appear in the management of so connected devices on USB 3.0, but it does when connected in USB 2.0.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  As much as I know the Windows 7 system requires installation of additional USB 3.0 driver.

  Many laptops and computers use USB 3.0 driver that was released by Intel... it is because of Intel chipset...

  I guess that USB 3.0 is already installed, but probably you need to update the driver at least to the newest version...

• External hard drive does not work properly

  Hi all

  It is a slightly different external HARD drive problem.  I had my faithful media ATMT bin since my first laptop with XP (2003) and I bought it in 2005.  It's a little wobbly as the fan vibrates a lot, but this isn't a problem.  What is the problem, is that I have a windows machine 7 who thinks that drive a need to put in shape, but my previous laptop which has vista on it was absolutely no problem to read the files IN ALL and you can open one of them without a hitch.  I tried to run CHKDSK I:\I (it is labeled as the I drive :) and 7 claims that it is in the format RAW.  I had a look at CHKDSK on my old machine and it is in FAT32, I since changed it to NTFS, but seems to have no effect.  I also tried the hunting of the drivers for the external hard drive, but I come only through links to Amazon as these things are always available.

  I really need to access this drive on my current computer as the older one needs a considerable cooling method to make it work therefore the latest machine.  What I also don't understand, it's that it was working absolutely fine on this machine too until quite recently.  He worked on it that I need, but have not been accessed for a while and so solutions in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you very much for your time.

  Your drive has reached its copy by date and it works on time taken (if he is stil)

  If this does not work on another PC then it's probably dead.

  You can try the utility disk SeaTools from Seagate to check and see if it can detect and report on the drive

• Passport external hard drive does not work

  I dropped my external hard drive USB plug (WD Passport).  I can't open it to access my files at all (many of them that I need for work). Its icon appears in the Device Manager and it evven shows that it works correctly.  I can do at home before I have send off by the Geek Squad for $250?  I heard a horror story already that turned into $ 1600 to $ 250.  I can't afford this.  Help, please.

  Two points:

  1. If you dropped out, it's probably broken, and you will be unable to
  do something with. Next time, make sure that you have a backup on another medium
  files that interest you.

  2. If you decide to take it somewhere to the service, avoiding the Geek

  Here, the other stores to large surface and they are terrible - the worst places for

• External hard drive does not work. Is there another way I could solve the problem without formatting the external hard drive?

  My external hard drive works. I tried to plug and when I tried to open it, it says to format the drive until I could use it. Everything works well as when I plugged the USB icon shown on the screen. When I check the disk management, it showed that the partition of the drive is there.

  I tried to change the drive letters, but still having the same problem. I also tried to run the disk check on the command prompt and the properties of the drive, but it still can not because there is error popping up saying that the disk check cannot be performed because Windows cannot access the disk.

  Is there another way I could solve the problem without formatting the external hard drive?

  I tried the first step in troubleshooting the hard drive, but it gives a
  error in saying that "hardware changes might not have been detected.

  So I tried the second method, and when I click on the "Check now" button his
  gives an error saying that "the disk check cannot be performed because .
  Windows can not access the disk".".

  So is there any other way or option?

  Thank you

• STOR. E partner HARD drive does not work with USB 2.0

  Hi all

  I recently purchased a 1 TB STOR. E partner HDD and it worked without any problems on my laptop Macbook Pro which has only USB 2.0 ports.

  A few days ago, the HARD drive has been disconnected from the laptop without ejecting first, and now it isn't recognized more than my laptop.

  I tried on a PC Windows with USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports and discovered that it is recognized when I plug in the port 3.0 but not on version 2.0.

  What should I do to have the HARD drive works again with USB 2.0?

  Many thanks in advance,
  Eduardo

  > I tried on a Windows PC with USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports and discovered that it is recognized when I plug in the port 3.0 but not on version 2.0.

  Stor.E partner HDD needs maximum power of my 900.
  The USB 2.0 port provides 500mA just
  If you can connect the HARD drive to two USB 2.0 ports using a USB cable in Y
  Or another option: connect a USB hub with external power supply between the HARD drive and the USB 2.0 port

  The HARD drive is visible in disk management?
  Have you tried the drive on another laptop?

  In the worst cases, you must return the HARD drive to the computer dealer and request a new one.

• External hard drive does not work on windows 7 after using the external hard drive on a mac (osx 10.7)

  title says it all. It does not open on autoplay and does not anywhere, but is always works on mac

  http://www.Mediafour.com/products/MacDrive

  If you want to use the drive to read and save files on both mac & PC I think that you will need create separate partitions on the disk, a formatted for mac and one for the PC.

  The utility linked above only allows access to a mac formatted drive and access the data, having never had to use it I don't know if it allows you to save files PC to the mac player

• External Combo CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive does not work with USB 1.1

  Hello world

  I have a problem with the PA3352E - 2 CD 2 CD-RW/DVD COMBO USB 2.0. A colleague is owner of this car and use it on a NB DellC610 with Windows XP on it. The problem is that the drive does not work with this type of nb (with a NB from Fujitsu-Siemens newest there no problems); There is always an error message about "surge." I think it has to do with the USB 1.1 because the player seems to be built for USB2.0. Is it possible to use this drive correctly with usb1.1 (ok, the flow is low, but more important is it works in general)? Unfortunately his nb will not work with USB 2.0...

  Thank you very much in advance.

  Kind regards

  Here are a few articles with possible solutions and its fix for the hard drive problems.  Maybe at least will help any problems you encounter.  I could have provided more targeted recommendations if you had provided more information about what the problem is exactly, when he started, the manufacturer, make and model of drive, how the player does not work - is that it recognized by the system, it appears in Windows Explorerr, the door opens when you press the button...  If the following text does not, provide this and more information about the problem and your configuration maybe we can provide additional assistance.

  Help!

  Hi YouMaCry,

  You have any records? or a USB recovery?

  If you cannot install an OS on your SSHD your SSHD can be defective, because it is reading it is cluster/bad sectors. A defective HDD/SSD/SSHD can still be detected (sometimes even when it is defective).

  To be sure contact Lenovo Support Center and ask them to send you your SSHD/unit in a get fully tested Lenovo the SSHD repair depot - and have defective parts repaired within a reasonable time!

  See you soon
